Kopin introduced the Precision Acquisition and Targeting System (PATS) fully integrated fire control system on booth #1968, which converts most fielded optical sights into smart and lethal targeting systems. The unit simply clips on the front of existing weapon sights and provides a precision ballistic solution, which is day/night readable. Kopin's patented Augmented Reality Weapon Sight Technology provides ultra-high brightness levels and greatly improves the performance of the existing inventory of fielded weapon sights by reducing engagement times and improving the probability of hits at ranges out to 600 metres. Key to the PATS solution is the application of Kopin's Augmented Reality (AR) Weapon Sight Technology. This patented technology provides ultra-high brightness levels typical of larger systems seen in aviation-based Helmet Mounted Displays (HMDs) while being powered by a single CR-123 battery. The AR Weapon Sight technology allows the user to target through the sight while viewing overlaid symbology even in the brightest daylight conditions. The PATS unit has the potential to convert every green recruit into a precision shooter, increasing lethality while significantly reducing training and ammunition costs.
